And the Sun Keeps Setting....

The eighteen plus years we lived in Spokane, I missed two things. One was the sight of hawks in the sky and perched on the telephone poles as I drove back and forth to work. The other was the wonderful Adams County sunsets. Our house on Spokane's South Hill was in a thickly treed area area (there were 26 trees on our lot and a half alone). You could only occasionally get a glimpse of a sunset from the west upstairs side of the house.



But here in the desert portion of Arizona, the sunsets are absolutely gorgeous! Especially on a day like to today that was partially overcast --

Looking to the west, the sky tonight was brightly orange --

While to the east the colors were more pastel and gentle --

Wasn't this lovely?

We had gone into Blythe for groceries (out of blueberries and orange juice again) late this afternoon planning to eat out. I've been hungry for Popeye's chicken and had noticed a stand at the far edge of town. But wouldn't you know it, all they had was "spicy" chicken -- which wasn't what I was craving. We ended up going to KFC, but it just wasn't the same.

We watched the Grammys this evening -- not sure that we could relate to a good share of it. Gosh, it's awful to hear my parents' comments about music coming out of my mouth...
